Oh, I love the idea of using vintage school maps as blinds. Done so at the MattsonCreative Office. Cool!

That is the coolest idea1. I love maps and I have been shopping for blinds for two large windows for some time now. I also happen to have a source for them in LA that I would be happy to share once I snatch up my maps this weekend!

How clever! I've always wanted a vintage school map anyway! . . . Also love the letter/number wall.

Wow, that's awesome! Love that office in general, but the maps are super-cool.

Where can you buy old vintage school maps?
